Thanks for your quick reply. There’s probably something I’m not understanding about $term_id. I have a regular WP post category of “stories-by-state” which has subcategories of each state (alabama, alaska, etc.). I don’t think the fact that I’m retrieving subcategory info has any effect on the outcome.
Given your instruction, I would have something like the folowing:
the_field('test_field', 'alabama_' . $term_id);
or
the_field('test_field', 'alabama_16');
where 16 is the the number I get from the ur:l /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&tag_ID=16&post_type=post
Neither worked and I”m not 100% sure how to pull $term_id.
